The Book of Pearl

(2) YA Translated by Sam Gordon. A boy stumbles upon a forest house filled with suitcases. What he learns about their owner brings together the politics of a fairy-tale kingdom, the love between a fairy and a banished prince, and the fate of an adopted son of Parisian marshmallow makers. Stuffed with Old-World, otherworldly strangeness, this fantastical novel movingly explores memory and the power of story to render love immortal.
